It will be useful for those who have plans to become a tech lead/principal/staff engineer. It will also be useful for those who are already a leader to assimilate the material, as well as for a clear understanding of what engineering management is

If you think you know everything about leadership, architecture, presentations and meetings, then you are definitely mistaken. This course drew my attention to a deeper study of the above topics. The practical part is well selected and allows you to better consolidate the material.
This course is a significant boost on the path to becoming a leader. It concentrates useful information that takes time to independently search and understand. Who will it be useful to, in my opinion? First of all, this course will be useful for developers who are currently focused only on the needs of their own team and their own project, but want to move forward and spread their influence. This course will also be interesting for ambitious people who are confident in their leadership qualities, but do not yet have the necessary skills to take on the role of a leader.

Highly recommended!!! Different people have different experiences. Pavlo presents his experience and his vision, which can be useful in your work to achieve results.
